Klondike Gold Reports First 2015 Drill Results; Intersects 5.3 g/t Au
over 7.6m
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Klondike Gold Corp. (Klondike
Gold or
the Company) (TSX.V:KG) is pleased to report receipt of assays from the
first
four diamond drill holes of nineteen in total on the Lone Star property
located
on the outskirts of Dawson City, Yukon Territory. Klondike Gold owns a
100%
interest in 1,406 quartz claims and 14 crown grants covering 250 square
kilometers underlying the western half of the Klondike placer goldfields.
Peter Tallman, President of Klondike Gold states The 2015 exploration
drill
program was designed to demonstrate the potential for near surface vein
arrays
to host good gold mineralization over economically interesting widths.
This
strategic model has been substantiated with positive results from all of
the
first four holes reported here, and it opens up the potential for many
further
Klondike lode or hard rock discoveries on our substantial land holdings.
Summary of Initial Four Drill Holes:
EC15-01: 4.6 g Au over 7.65 meters (7.65 meters true thickness) from 3.8m
to
11.45m.
EC15-02: 2.3 g Au over 7.2 meters (5.7 meters true thickness) from 4.4m
to
11.6m.
EC15-03: 5.3 g Au over 7.6 meters (6.1 meters true thickness) from 4.4m
to
12.0m.
EC15-04: 5.7 g Au over 3.0 meters (3.0 meters true thickness) from 21.1m
to
24.1m.
2015 Drilling Summary
2015 exploration drilling tested several zones (Nugget, Lower Nugget, Gay
Gulch, Buckland area) with outcrop or sub-crop quartz veining containing
visible gold. Core logging results show that individual quartz veins with
visible gold can be 0.1 to 1.0 meters in thickness and that zones are
comprised
of several to many related quartz veins (vein arrays) occurring over
widths of
up to ~10 meters true thickness and which exhibit along-strike and downdip
continuity. The volume of quartz veining relative to wallrock, expressed
as %
quartz veining or % QV is an important exploration indicator. Propertyscale
exploration focussed on locating near-surface volumes of gold mineralized
quartz veining, and this objective will continue for 2016.
2015 Nugget Zone Drill Results
The first six holes of the drill program tested the Nugget showing,
following
up surface chip sampling results (see NR August 18, 2015). Holes 1
through 5
all intersected quartz veining with visible gold.
Drill core assays have been received for the entirety of holes 1 to 4
(EC15-01
to EC15-04). Nugget Zone holes 5 and 6 (EC15-05 to EC15-06) are pending.

The Nugget Zone was tested from pairs of holes at 50 meter spaced
intervals
along a 100 meter total length. Each drill pad had a -45 and a -85
dipping hole
collared from it. All holes were drilled at 210 azimuth. Along the strike
of
the outcropping Nugget showing, holes 1 and 2 tested the easterly end
(section
450E), holes 3 and 4 tested the middle (section 500E), and holes 5 and 6
tested
the westerly end (section 550E). (A plan map of drill holes plus section
maps
plus assay interval table is located HERE
(http://www.klondikegoldcorp.com/media/photo-gallery/)).
Drilling encountered a previously unknown upper vein array at the bedrock
surface at the start of holes 1 through 4. Holes 5 and 6 collared forward
of
the upper vein array. The target for holes 1 through 6 was the lower vein
array
which is the Nugget vein described in NR Augusts 18, 2015, and which all
six
holes tested.
Individual quartz veins in holes 1 to 4 assay 5 g/t Au up to 40 g/t Au
and most
of the visible gold identified occurs within this group of quartz veins.
The upper vein array expresses between 25% and 40% quartz vein to form
the
array interval. The lower vein array in holes 1 through 4 expresses
between 5%
and 25% quartz vein to form the array interval. Although individual vein
gold
assays in the lower vein array are as high as for the upper veins, so far
there
are fewer veins in the lower vein array to meaningfully carry a weighted
average.
Peter Tallman states Thus far, the 2015 diamond-drilling program has
succeeded
in validating the Companys exploration model for the discovery of new
gold-bearing vein arrays and has vastly improved the Companys technical
understanding of important gold lode-deposit formation characteristics
for the
district. Or, in plain terms: the hunt is on.
Additional updates and results of holes 5 through 19 will be released as
they
are received.
Methodology and Data Treatment
Assay intervals herein report the weighted average gold grade for the
interval
using the quartz vein assays only. Samples logged as wallrock are
assigned a 0
g/t Au grade for values up to 300 ppb Au for the purposes of weighted
averaging. This is a determination based on examination of the plus
versus
minus fractions in the metallic screen assay results. The mineralized
vein
array interval in the -45 dipping holes is approximately the true
thickness.
The true thickness of the mineralized vein array interval in the -85
dipping
holes is approximately 0.8 times the mineralized interval.
Drill Core and Assay Protocols
All drill holes are photographed wet and dry. Magnetic susceptibility,
foliation, and rock quality determination (RQD) measurements are
systematically
collected. All cross-cutting (potentially mineralized) quartz veins and
adjoining alteration envelopes are individually photographed and upper
and
lower contact angles measured. Core logging records lithology, structure,
and
alteration. Visible gold is identified, measured, photographed, and then
excluded from the assay sample for that interval. Assay samples from
drill core
are cut using a diamond saw. Half the core sample interval is bagged,
tagged,
and sealed; the other half is returned to the core box with a
corresponding tag
and retained for reference. Sample bags are aggregated into rice bags,
sealed,
and submitted by Klondike Gold personnel to Bureau Veritas Mineral
Laboratories
(BV Labs) (formerly Acme Labs) preparation facility in Whitehorse, YT
with
chemical analysis of sample pulps completed in Vancouver, British
Columbia.
Bureau Veritas Labs is an accredited ISO 9001:2008 full-service
commercial
laboratory.
At BV Labs each rock sample is crushed to 80% passing 2 mm size. A 500 g
subsample is pulverized to >85% passing -75 microns size (Code PRP70500). The
500 g subsample is then sieved to 106 microns (140 mesh) for metallic
screen
assaying. The plus 140 mesh fraction is then weighed and assayed for gold
by
fire assay (FA) fusion with a gravimetric finish (Code FS631). A 30 g
subsample
of the minus 140 mesh fraction is assayed for gold by fire assay (FA)
fusion
with an atomic absorption (AA) finish (Code FA430). All over-limit
results in
excess of 10 ppm (10 g/t) for both silver and gold are re-assayed using a
30 g
subsample and assayed by FA with a gravimetric finish (Code FA530-Au/Ag).
Total
gold grade is then calculated using a weighted average of the plus and
minus
fraction assay results. Samples were also analyzed for multi-element
chemistry
by ICP-MS analysis (AQ200+U code). Samples over-limit in lead are rerun
by a
high-detection limit ICP-ES procedure (Code MA370). QA/QC includes the
insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards, blanks, and
duplicates within each batch.
